" MacArthur Plan For Japs His Own

General Didn't Consult Washington

WASHINGTON, March 19 (U. P.).—Gen. Douglas MacArthur consulted neither the state nor war department before making his proposal for a speedy peace treaty with Japan, informed sources said to-

ni day.

His public statement clearly took both departments by surprise. It revealed a basic difference in policy ‘between the general and officials in { Washington. Gen. MacArthur, it was said, dis{agrees with the state and war de{partment view that the Japanese treaty must await completion of a peace pact for Germany. He was said to fear that Japan's economy would suffer while the Big

{Four powers sparred for months,

perhaps years, on a German treaty, The generals position, it was understood, is that Japan's recovery has progressed faster than Germany's because Japan suffered less destruction during the war. He therefore believes there should be mo further delay in negotiating a peace treaty and allowing Japan to come under United Nations control: The official war department view has been that occupation of Japan would continue for an indefinite period. The department declined official comment on Gen. MacArthur's proposal.
